Snapping Rear Banjo Bolts
Manual says 32 ft-lbs for the rear banjo bolts. No issues with the front ones, just the rear. Tried 30 ft-lbs and 'sneaking' up on it and still crack boom bam, still tore its head right off. Is there a different angle or something at the rear caliper that causes undue stress on the head of the bolt or something? Just find it weird that the fronts have no issue, just the ones in the back. Tested two different torque wrenches just to be sure they were correct.
Have some more banjo bolts on the way, so I guess I'll just get snug and then another 1/4 turn or so. If it leaks, I'll just tighten up a bit, but anyone else have the same issue?
